EHX Muff Fuzz on the slab

If we had an Effects Technical Info forum, this would go there. Rather than lump it in with the amp tech stuff, I'm posting here instead.

Anyhoo, here is a little Electro-Harmonix Muff Fuzz I've had for years. In fact, it was my first effect! It was working at some point; if memory serves, a wire or two came loose and a friend put it back together for me. It never fuzzed again.

Fast forward to 2008: found it in a box recently. Still not working. I removed the wires to the jacks and the battery clip, thus undoing a 20 year old jackleg repair. This is how it looks now:

That's the input jack to the left. The two naked posts and the two solder blobs visible just under the tip connection of the input jack are the four posts of the switch {***EDIT: there are actually six posts on the switch (duh)...the naked ones are the middle two***}. Now, how do I put things back together? I found a schematic here: http://www.schematicheaven.com/effects/eh_mufffuzz.pdf , but it doesn't seem to conform at all to this particular pedal (I think the earlier ones were less complicated than mine). Any help would be appreciated. Cheers,

Well, yeah. If I can't manage to do it myself, I'll send it off to Mike. However, since it's just 4 wires plus the battery clip, it seems like I ought to be able to accomplish that myself. With a little help, that is...

Thanks, guys. Trout, I looked at the schematics, and so far I can't seem to match either one to what I'm looking at in front of me. I've seen pictures of several different versions of this effect, so maybe mine's not represented there. I'll keep chewing on it. Thanks again,

Colour me stupid, but where do you put the battery? These are dead easy to fix, but not without some probing.

Yeah, I took the battery clip off as well. I'm pretty sure it was hooked up dead wrong anyway - when I plugged everything up just to see if it would perchance work, the 9v got too hot to touch within about 0.5 of a second! Cheers,
